Bob, I recommend to try the following.

1. Reboot your Android device.
2. Start up iFly GPS.
3. Menu => About => Connected Devices => Select Device => Dual XGPS
4. Make sure your Dual XGPS is set to "Other" and "ADS-B" on the two switches.

Then give it a few minutes.

Do NOT start up any other apps that use the Dual XGPS. (no "helper app", nor any other status reading app).  Sometimes, the presence of another app reading this status "steals" the connection away from iFly.  So make sure iFly is the only app running that is trying to read this status.

If no connection, open up the Android Settings=> BlueTooth, to make sure the Dual XGPS is shown as "paired".   Also, once it's paired, you should see the light pattern on the Dual XGPS change to signify that this connection is established.

We'll do our best to work through this one with you.

Thanks Brian for the suggestion.  Sorry for the delay, I was out of town a couple days for work.

I tried your suggestion twice.  Both times I waited 30 minutes and the XGPS190 did not connect.  I took your idea of re-booting a step further, I went in and had the Tablet "forget" all paired devices and started fresh with only the XGPS190 being paired.  Then it connected.  However, those other devices were not around so they were not connected, even though the Tablet said they were paired.  

I appreciate your help, and look forward to taking it out and trying the new features.

Thank you, Bob
